Circumstances not my own
May not affect me
Directly
However,
This negativity
Causes rifts and waves
And to my dismay
I begin to fray
And as I try to reach the conflict
To calm the storm
The waves overtake me,
Shake me,
Make me,
Who I am.
Can’t break free.
My thoughts drift
With the pain
But lift
Me
Up
So that I might breathe
Positively
The rift
Frees
Because in between
Is where we live
It’s what He gives.
Life.
Even amid
The sea.
May not affect me
